Windows 2000 Server Issue

[Eric Vartanian]

I have a big problem.

I have a server 2000 ready to go with two partitions.

Somehow when I was finalizing it up, by mistake I went to "Diskmanagment"

And remove the "Boot Active" from C: which it is the main to D: which there

Is nothing.

In the old windows 98 or maybe XP or win 2K times, with FAT 16 or 32

I could do boot with Boot Diskette win98 and go to Fdisk and remove the boot

Disk and make the C: active as primary partition.

How can I make my c:\ again Active Boot partition?

I tried any thing that I could come, like boot with CD server 2K or some

Other utility, but unfortunately beyond their expertise.

Is there anyway I can make my C:\ partition Active which I made mistake and
made my D:\ active which I am getting "NTLDR is missing"

I know I can format the hardisk and start all over again, but I am

Sure there is a simpler way.



Please advice.

- Get a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.
- Boot the server with this disk.
- Run fdisk.exe and make your partition active. It works
for NTFS partitions too!
